As Shane would say, "Be patient, Grasshopper"

We had this "perception" problem with deadlands.  When H&H came out,
everyone thought that Hucksters were way too powerful, each subsequent book
would point out a different "new"  powerful character class.  Once all of
the books were out, lo and behold, all of the characters are balanced.

In a perfect world, Pinnacle would be able to introduce HoE with 10 source
books all at once, but in our world we need to wait...
